PhD Thesis by Robert Weeks

Firstly, I would like to thank the research board of SCARAB, a research centre at the University of Wales College, Newport, and its director, Prof. Miranda Aldhouse-Green, for providing both funding for the project and a stimulating environment in which to undertake it. I have been fortunate that the good working relationship established with Dr. Jon. Kissock on the first 'digging' season of the Cefn Drum project in 1996 has carried over to when he became my supervisor on this project in 1998. Dr. Kissock, has provided good advice, enthusiastic encouragement, and much appreciated guidance and support throughout. Additionally, the positive enthusiasm of my second supervisor, Dr Hilary Thomas, has been most welcome. She read a copy of the thesis in its entirety and offered many valuable comments and suggestions. The helpfulness and patience of a great many archivists in handling my many enquiries has made the documentary research more enjoyable than I had ever hoped it could be. Especial thanks must go to the staff at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth and the Public Record Office in London. At the latter, Dr Nick Barratt helped to identify relevant documentation and made considerable progress in demystifying the intricacies of the PRO for me. The staff of the RCAHMW were very helpful on the many occasions I visited their offices in Aberystwyth to study the OS field surveyors notes and other holdings. Thanks must also be extended to Susan Beckley at West Glamorgan area Record Office; the staff at Gwent Record Office, Glamorgan Record Office, Brecon Library and the local history department at Cardiff Central Library all of whom took time to assist me with my enquiries. Equally, the staff at Somerset Record Office and Nottingham University library promptly handled my enquiries about the south Wales ministers' accounts in their possession. The SMR officers at the Welsh archaeological trusts were helpful in enabling me to get to get to grips with their holdings. Colleagues at the SCARAB Research Centre were also accommodating in discussing various issues, especially Mrs Chris Waite who answered my queries about the use of boats and river navigation on the Rivers Wye and Usk, and how it all fitted in to the use of the Severn Estuary. I benefited from discussion and correspondence with individuals whose own research interests considered old routeways, notable among these was Mr Ken Jermy who shared some insights from his extensive researches over many years into Roman roads and commented on the problems of identification in Wales. A great many others assisted me by answering queries, providing references or sending information, these
